How to Make Sourdough Grain Seed Bread
- **Activate your sourdough starter:** (If using a bread machine method, skip to step 2). Feed your starter 1/2 cup starter with 1 cup each of water and flour. Let it rise until doubled (approx. 4-6 hours).
- **Combine ingredients:** In a large bowl (or bread machine), combine the following ingredients: [List measured ingredients from the ingredients section below]
- **Bread Machine Method:** Place all ingredients in your bread machine and set to the dough cycle. Once complete, proceed to step 7.
- **Hand Mixing Method:** Using a dough hook, mix ingredients until the dough pulls away from the sides of the bowl. The dough should be smooth and slightly damp.
- **Bulk Fermentation (Hand Method):** Oil a large bowl. Place the dough inside, swirling to coat. Let rest for 30 minutes. Perform a series of stretch and folds: Gently stretch a portion of the dough, fold it over, turn the bowl 90 degrees, and repeat. Let rest for another 30 minutes. Repeat the stretch and folds.
- **Shape the Loaf:** Gently shape the dough into a loaf.
- **Final Proof:** Place the shaped loaf in a greased loaf pan or on a parchment-lined baking sheet/baking stone. Let rise in a warm place until doubled in size (approx. 2-3 hours).
- **Preheat Oven & Stone (if using):** Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). If using a baking stone, place it in the oven during preheating for at least 30 minutes.
- **Bake:** Carefully transfer the loaf (using parchment paper if needed) to the preheated baking stone or loaf pan. Bake for 40-55 minutes, or until golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 200-210°F (93-99°C). Perform a knock test: Gently tap the bottom of the loaf; it should sound hollow.
- **Cool:** Let the bread cool completely on a wire rack before slicing and serving.
